This may be to prevent family breakdown or escalation to other services The EI Pods are likely to work with the following groups; • Families where children are being exposed to a very low level domestic abuse / domestic dispute • Teenagers exhibiting difficult behaviour • Under 5s with young or single parents who are struggling to cope • Vulnerable YP with emotional problems who are isolated within their families • Keep safe work • Where a PFSA is not involved with the family The above should not be regarded as a definitive list. Parenting Support • The EI Pods provide Triple P Parenting individually and sometimes in groups, in conjunction with other professionals including Children’s centres and PFSA’s • We are also working to develop some volunteers who can provide short term support. The EI Pod team leader is available to PFSA’s for consultation / group supervision and can provide training in the use of CAF.
